I will consider structural and bee tree extractions depending on difficulty and schedule.
Note: If known swarm sites are on a property I will consider putting swarm traps at those locations in March or early April. I picked up 7 swarms using swarm traps last year. My swarm traps are older empty hives. So If bees decide to move into the swarm trap then all that is required to move it to new location.
